The [absolute] Last of the Mohicans -
My mother is now into watching all the movie information programs (there are lots of them, it turns out, especially on Bravo) and makes her lists of movies to watch from those. I'm surprised we haven't subscribed to any movie channels yet. So far, though, she hasn't mentioned it so neither have I. Maybe she doesn't know movie channels are available.
Re: Daniel Day-Lewis. I know he was supposed to be dynamite in My Left Foot and in that movie about an Irish father and son (didn't it have something to do with boxing...maybe it was called The Boxer), neither of which I saw. [Although I may, before my mother dies, see every movie ever filmed, or the first few minutes, at least, at the rate we're going.] He looks as though he's made of wax, make-up and rebar rather than flesh and blood and bone; neither very warm nor very sturdy, to me, and I certainly wouldn't call what he did in The Last of the Mohicans acting. My mother, though, may have the hots for him. Except for my father I have no idea what characteristics she finds attractive although I have been wondering about that, lately.
Up to Prescott, today, so no movies (although my mother suggested taking a few up there; I suggested that we wouldn't be up there long enough to have the time to watch a full movie; that worked). Should be a good day.
